had arrived to "help with the washing up". According to Cleo Rocos in her memoir The Power of Positive Drinking, Diana, Princess of Wales, visited the RVT in the late 1980s, disguised as a man and accompanied by Rocos, Freddie Mercury and Kenny Everett. Rocos stated that revelers did not notice Diana because their attention was focused on Mercury, Everett and Rocos. Mercury’s close friend and personal assistant, Peter Freestone, has stated that Mercury was not involved in this outing and never met the Princess. In 2005, the Royal Vauxhall Tavern was taken over by gay businessmen Paul Oxley and James Lindsay. With a new lighting and sound system the venue opened seven nights a week and maintained its popularity. In November 2014 the RVT was sold to property developers in a multimillion pound commercial deal. Lindsay was retained and appointed by the new business owners. The community campaign group RVT Future was formed soon afterwards to defend the venue's continued use as a site of LGBTQ community and culture. Following an application by RVT Future, the RVT was made a Grade II listed building on 8 September 2015; the UK's first building to be listed in recognition of its importance to LGBTQ community history. The campaign was supported by the then Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, and the actors and entertainers Ian McKellen and Paul O'Grady, among many others.
